- Fedora uses <emphasis role='strong'>Mozilla Firefox</emphasis> by
- default to access the World Wide Web (<emphasis>Web</emphasis>).
- <emphasis role='strong'>Firefox</emphasis> is a multi platform,
- standards-compliant Web browser.

+ KDE to access the World Wide Web (<emphasis>Web</emphasis>).

<para>
+ Beyond being excellent, standards compliant web browsers,
+ <application>Firefox</application> and <application>Konqueror</application>

+ <title>Navigating the Web</title>
+ <para>
+ Fedora starts <application>Firefox</application> with a custom
+ default home page that has links to useful Fedora-related sites.
+ Navigate to other web pages by typing the address (URL) into
+ the long navigation bar across the top of the
+ <application>Firefox</application> screen, replacing the default
+ <ulink url='http://www.start.fedoraproject.org'>"http://start.fedoraproject.org".

+ <para>
+ If the URL is not known, enter a keyword (or words) into the search bar on the right
+ of the navigation bar, then press the <guibutton>[ENTER]</guibutton> key. The search
+ engine used is changed by left-clicking the logo in the search box, presenting a list
+ of pre-configured options including Google, Yahoo, eBay, Amazon, and Creative Commons.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Like other web browsers, <application>Firefox</application> makes it possible to save
+ a web page for future reference by adding a bookmark to a list of bookmarks. Use the
+ key combination <keycap>[Ctrl][d]</keycap> to bookmark a page you are viewing. To manage
+ bookmarks, or do other actions such as bookmarking all open tabs, use the <guimenu>Bookmark
+ </guimenu> menu from the top of the <application>Firefox</application> window. Create a
+ live bookmark (a feed) that automatically checks for updates from a page with an RSS or Atom
+ feed. When a feed is available there is an orange icon at the right hand edge of the address
+ bar. Left click the feed icon and a preview of the feed is displayed. Select the method you
+ would like to use to subscribe to the feed.
+ </para>
+ <note><title>Use your favorite feed reader</title>
+ <para>
+ <application>Firefox</application> can use a number of popular web-based options for
+ subscribing to feeds, such as Bloglines, My Yahoo, and Google Reader, as well as
+ <application>Firefox's</application> own live bookmarks. Another option is to use a desktop
+ feed reader you have installed, such as <application>Liferea</application>.</note>
